Because one success begets another, the legitimate practice of advertising exercises a' salutary effect in many directions and we are glad to take our hat off to another agency that shows a sincere and well directed effort to give h'is client good ser vice. ' Not long ago a manufacturer and his ad vertising manager came into our offices and asked us to look bver his plans and "copy" prepared by another agency. After a thorough understanding of his proposition and a most careful scrutiny of his work, an executive of this organization turned to this advertiser and- said : "If we had done the work, we would have been mighty proud of it." I P ? F Business is the "mother lode" of rich ore that we all can work. There is no possibility of exhausting" this mother lode ... as a matter of fact its sur face hs hardly been scratched. Skilled, careful exploitation of business increases the value of each particular "claim" and all others of a similar character. Constructive or creative competition is a blessing to each concern that recognizes it.

"""OM-n vj Vli I every advertising agency with vision big and broad enough to recognize this great economic principle. ifi .J: :J: :J: Our recognition of this principle influ ences our relationship with other advertis ing agencies, with publications and advertisers. It assists us in securing most for our clients in the way of "good will" and co operative work of every character. It is one reason for our long association with our clients. V V fc Our record of continuous service with an account is unusually long. Wc have served our present clients on an average of seven years and six months. This record is get ting constantly longer. As a basis of com parison, the average life of accounts with agencies in general is eleven months. In 1919 our business increased 150 per cent, over 1918. Ninety-six per cent, of our total volume of business in 1919 was from concerns that had been with us for more than one year and in some instances up to twenty-five years. These are impressive figures for any manufacturer to study who is ambitious to open up new markets for his product or in crease its sales; to careful and conscientious executives who believe in thorough-going careful methods.
